I should have added this to the top of the first post:

North Riding Wargames Group's membership is (for the most part) drawn from gamers belonging the Catterick Garrison, Northallerton, Middlesbrough, Redcar, and Guisborough (all N. Yorks) and Darlington (Co. Durham) areas. It meets once a month, on the last Sunday, at Scruton village hall (nr. Northallerton, N.Yorks).

But the membership is often found playing at other clubs, friend's or other member's houses, or at Pendraken's shop, so games are held throughout the month.

Games played range from Historical, to semi-historical, to what-if historical; Pulp adventures or just-having-a-laugh with a load of Cowboys or Gangsters; Naval gaming and Wings of Glory WW1 & 2; Sci-Fi quick and simple rules; GW's Necromunda & Blood Bowl Sevens. Star Wars X-Wing and Star Trek Attack Wing. Toy soldier sizes are 10mm, 15mm, 28mm for Historical and Pulp-stuff; Heroic 28mm to 32mm for the Sci-Fi gaming.

As with most other groups of gamers, there will be a very wide range of periods, miniature sizes, and interests that most of us don't even know the others have, so I'm sure I've missed some games, periods or sizes that can be gamed with by the group.

The To the Strongest game looks to be Roman vs Persians with some Greeks...

A good mixture of historical periods and all very nicely presented games  :-bd

Always good to see what other gamers are up to.
